On this LLM you will gain a broad understanding of human rights law. You can also study more specialist areas such as the right to life, privacy in the digital age, imprisonment and human rights, and international humanitarian law.
You will be taught by experts who have advised governments, collaborated with organisations including the United Nations and the Council of Europe, and joined forces with NGOs in their human rights advocacy work. This practical application of academic knowledge allows you to see how human rights law can have a tangible impact.
